My condolences to the family of Dwayne Williams. I met Dwayne while attending USL in Lafayette. I remember how smart he was; his sense of humor was contagious and, he was such a sharp dresser too. Bow ties was his "thing!" Dwayne was kind and caring. He will be missed.

To the children and family of Dwayne, My thoughts and prayers are with you all. I am wishing you comfort and peace while you grieve this sorrowful loss. Dwayne was a thoughtful and kind young man. He was a lawyer that always had empathy and compassion for his clients. He would give expert legal advice without benefiting from monetary gain. Dwayne was a loyal friend and never met a stranger. Please accept my sincere sympathy. God Bless and love, Mona Morgan
